Bungeoppang: How To Make The Perfect Korean Pie 


Every K-Drama contains scenes where characters eat a lot. Some dishes appear in K-dramas so frequently that you yearn for them. I was automatically drawn to the series of adorable episodes about bungeoppang while watching the popular television show VINCENZO. Why don't we have something similar in Nigeria? It would make the ideal fish pie. Just think about ordering a fish pie and receiving one that looks exactly like a fish. Amazing, huh?


Bungeoppang is a fish-shaped pastry with sweet fillings, usually made with red bean paste, although there are lots of other flavors like custard or chocolate. You don't need to travel down to Korea to enjoy their wonderful dishes. With the recipe below, you can make it at home.

Ingredients for Bungeoppang:
🟠 1 cup of sifted plain flour.
🟠 2 tablespoons of baking powder.
🟠 Half a tablespoon of salt.
🟠 Milk or water.
🟠 3 tablespoons of caster sugar.
🟠 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
🟠 1 egg.

Fillings:
🟠 Sweetened red bean paste.
🟠 Custard.
🟠 Chocolate.
🟠 Cheese.
🟠 Nutella.


Step One:
In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine all the ingredients for the batter. Put the mixture in a jug with a spout so that you can easily pour it.

Step Two:
Heat a bungeoppang pan at a low temperature. Brush some melted butter or cooking oil on the pan as soon as possible.

Step Three:
Pour the batter mixture onto the bungeoppang pan, only partially covering the pan. Then, add more batter mixture to the top to cover the fish mold after adding your preferred filling. Put the lid on the pan and immediately flip it over.

Step Four:
Cook the fish pastry until it turns golden brown on both sides of the pan. Take the fish pastries out of the pan and let them cool on a plate.

Serve with a chilled Soju, the traditional Korean beer, and enjoy.

By The Icons Organization and Indy Press  For Deborah, a 100-level student and resident of Obafemi Awolowo Hall of residence, University of Ibadan, staying in her hall of residence was a choice she made because she was in her first year of study. She believed this choice was the safest way to get familiar with the school and its environment. Posi, another student, on the other hand, resides in a school hostel due to proximity. “I stay in Obafemi Awolowo Hall of Residence because of its proximity to classes; the fact that it is cheaper, it is less stressful than house hunting, and much safer than staying outside school,” Posi explained.  Posi's reason for staying in Obafemi Awolowo Hall is the same as that of many students who find themselves in public hostels — it is often cheaper and closer to school. This goes to show just how important hostel accommodation is for students in any university, as it affects both their academics and overall wellbeing.  Unfortun...

By  Adetunji Oluwafemi The Great Ife Students’ Union on Monday, 3rd November 2024, held its planned inter-faculty debate for freshmen. The debate is part of the events that have been prepared for Fresher’s Week 2024. The event experienced a slight delay, as the venue was moved from the 1000-seater to Oduduwa Hall by the order of the school management, which requested that the initial venue be vacated because the office of the Vice President, responsible for the event, failed to seek permission before using it.
